Clif Bar 10th Big Dinner

Clif Bar & Company hosted its 10th fundraising Big Dinner recently, raising more than $45,000 for seven area nonprofits. Employees of Emeryville-based Clif Bar, a leading maker of nutritious and organic food and drinks, cooked and served a sumptuous, 12-course local and organically-sourced dinner for 44 business partners, friends and family at Clif Family Farm property in Angwin, Calif.

Guests dressed in traditional croquet whites for a night of food, drink, croquet and fun. They dined al fresco on such delicious fare as local pasture-raised meats, local seafood and fresh garden vegetables from the Clif Bar Family Farm. Thirty-five Clif Bar employees volunteered as chefs and servers.

Clif Bar’s Big Dinner fundraiser began humbly 12 years ago (it has been held 10 of the past 12 years) to help an employee raise donations for her hike to benefit San Francisco’s Breast Cancer Fund. The event has grown over the years to support multiple nonprofits close to the hearts of many Clif employees.
